Hi Amelia, sorry to read you’re having problems with your hair, although I haven’t lost mine due to treatment I have had periods of hair shedding, and it becoming very thin, on and off since I was 16. I’ve seen everyone and anyone over the years and can appreciate how frustrating it is. Of all the supplements I’ve taken over the years the one I continue to take is Sun Chlorella A, there is another I found helped but this one is also good for the cancer side of things. Also, re any patches, have you heard of Lucinda Ellery? She does a weaving system to cover patches, and also clip in hair pieces which could help your crown area, not cheap but maybe something to think about? A friend of mine lost a lot of her hair due to having too many extensions, and was a client at Lucinda’s for several years. She also treats people with Trichotillomania. There was a programme on channel 4 about her a few years ago but I believe it is still available to watch. Hope you find something you feel comfortable with soon, and let me know if I can help with any further info. Kate x
